Jonathan Turley: ‘This Is Not an Indictment You Can Dismiss,’ It is ‘Extremely Damning’
EXCERPT:
TURLEY: “No, it is an extremely damning indictment. You know, there are indictments there are sometimes called narrative or speaking indictments. These are indictments that are really meant to make a point as to the depth of the evidence. There are some indictments that are just bare bones. This is not. The special counsel knew that there would be a lot of people who were going to allege that the Department of Justice was acting in a biased or a politically motivated way. This is clearly an indictment that was drafted to answer those questions. It’s overwhelming in details. And you know, the Trump team should not fool itself. These are hits below the water line. These are witnesses who apparently testified under oath, gave statements to federal investigators, both of which can be criminally charged if they’re false. Those witnesses are directly quoting the president and encouraging others not to look for documents or allegedly to conceal them. It’s damaging.”
